I have a problem with printing from the latest version of Microsoft Edge. When I select some text on the browser and choose Print → 'Save As Pdf', the download starts but never finishes. How can I fix this? Is this a common issue for all the users of the latest version of Edge?

I have tried restating the PC, Resetting the browser, stopping all the extension etc. to fix it. but it doesn't work? Should I switch to Chrome?

    I'd like to move to Chrome but for several months now Chrome keeps crashing. It opens and then closes almost immediately. I've tried to find a fix for this problem but so far no success.

    A workaround, if you have to use Edge, is to make a copy of the .crdownload file when the progress shows 0 KB remaining to download and then rename it with the .pdf extension. You should then be able to open it. You can then cancel the download to remove the .crdownload file.

    I have the same problem as of a couple days ago. I've tried all the suggested fixes and nothing works.

    Hopefully Microsoft will fix it. I use the "Save as pdf" function a lot and really miss it.

    Have you tried reinstalling Chrome? Similar issue has happened and continues to happen to me with various pieces of software. A reinstall is the ultimate solution that works for those cases.
